Chapter 26: Unfair Competition 11

  Lu Tian, however, did not show the same excitement as others. This match was simply too unfair. The difference in military strength between the two sides was already a given, but now they suddenly added more manpower. Didn't this obviously mean they didn't want his side to win? The more they didn't want him to win, the more Lu Tian wanted to win, to prove his own strength. He loudly asked Gao Wen beside him, "Is there still time left?"

  Gao Wen raised his hand to look at his watch and replied, "There are still fifteen minutes."

  Lu Tian let out a sigh of relief, and only then did a hint of a smile appear on his face. He muttered to himself: "Fifteen minutes is enough." Lu Tian picked up the cup of Erguotou from the table, took a light sip, and frowned: "Old classmate, this Erguotou of yours isn't great, it's probably mid-to-low quality among Erguotous. Are you treating an old classmate with this kind of wine?" Lu Tian smiled at Bai Miansheng, a triumphant smile: "How about this? Another day, you go to my younger brother's place, I've been saving a few bottles of real aged Erguotou. Next time, I'll treat you to a drink!"

  The white-faced scholar could say nothing more, for the winner would be king and the loser a bandit. Moreover, he had thought from the start that this competition was unfair, so he didn't want to participate in this boring game anyway. The white-faced scholar shook his head at Lu Tian with a smile: "Alright, I'll definitely go. At that time, don't regret those few bottles of wine."

  "Of course!" Lu Tian laughed loudly.

  "Thud, thud......" The sound of rapid footsteps kept coming from outside. Lu Tian raised his head to look towards the outside of the tent, only to see people rushing around. It seemed that the earlier gunshot had startled them over. Meanwhile, Bai Mian Shu Sheng's gaze fell on Lei's body. In his mind, everyone in Lu Tian's group except for a new recruit who had jumped off the mountain and was unknown whether he was dead or alive, had already been taken down by him. Originally, he thought that one new recruit was not enough to be a threat, so he didn't pay much attention. But unexpectedly, he ended up losing to this last new recruit.

  "What are you doing? Don't come over!" a loud shout came from outside the tent.

  Then a loud shout came from outside the account: "Damn it! What does it mean for so many of you to surround us? Get out of our way, or else don't blame us brothers for being impolite!"

  "No way! You're all eliminated! The game isn't over yet, you can't go in!" the man shouted.

  "This time it was Huang Rui's angry shout: 'To hell with the match! What kind of match is this? And another thing, didn't your people die and then you pointed guns at us!', followed by the constant quarrel between Zhang Nan and others who had already sacrificed themselves and the other side."

  The white-faced scholar looked up at Route Heaven and said in a low voice: "Old classmate, what does this mean with your subordinates..."

  Before the white-faced scholar could finish speaking, Lu Tian shouted angrily towards the outside of the tent: "Bastards! Get all of you out of here!"

  Zhang Nan and others, as soon as they heard Lu Tian's voice, excitedly shouted: "Lian Chang! Are you okay?! How are the other brothers?!"

  "Now the game isn't over yet, you damn well better get back with the others and give me some space!"

  "Yes! Battalion Commander!" Zhang Nan replied loudly. Since the battalion commander had spoken, Zhang Nan and the other troops who were about to die could only obey orders and retreat.

  With a loud "bang", Lu Tian fired a shot at the pale-faced scholar, then softly chuckled and said: "I don't want you to be scolded by those people upstairs just because you've become a captive."

  The white-faced scholar smiled lightly: "Scold, I've been mentally prepared for this. This is an unfair competition anyway. Even if I hadn't been captured, with thousands of people against dozens, my side still lost hundreds of men. That's enough reason for them to scold me. Even if I hadn't been captured, the commander-in-chief was killed, so they must be even more furious." However, now that he had been captured, he could take it easy for a while. The white-faced scholar took out a pack of cigarettes from his upper pocket and pulled out two, tossing one to Lu Tian and putting the other in his own mouth. As the lighter sparked, the cigarette slowly ignited, and after taking a leisurely drag, the white-faced scholar asked Lu Tian: "There's less than five minutes left now, and there are hundreds of people surrounding you outside. How do you plan on getting to the command center?"

  Lu Tian glanced at the direction of the command center, then took a lighter from Bai Mian Shu Sheng's hand and lit his cigarette. As he exhaled the smoke, he said softly: "Old classmate, do you still remember how ants escape from the sea of fire?"

  The young scholar with a pale face held the cigarette in his hand and said with some surprise: "Oh, you want to use this trick?"

  Lu Tian didn't respond, but instead used his actions to prove his previous words. He picked up the bottle of Erguotou from the dinner table and poured it all over the tent that was rushing towards the command center. After taking a deep drag on his cigarette, he flicked the butt at the tent. The Erguotou, which was over 50 degrees in strength, ignited as soon as it came into contact with the spark, and the flames quickly spread to the entire tent with its help. When the people outside saw the tent suddenly catch fire, they immediately became a bit flustered, especially since their battalion commander was inside.

  "What's going on? How did the account get settled?"

  "What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and put out the fire, the battalion commander is still inside!"

  "Hurry up! It's almost time for fire rescue!"

  ......

  Just as the outside was in chaos, a group of people rushed out from inside, and gunfire also rang out from their hands. They didn't care who the other person was, as long as they were human, they would shoot! This group of people was Le's remaining brothers, now only twelve people were left, tightly surrounded in three circles like ants escaping a sea of fire. The innermost circle consisted of Le and Lian Zhang, the second circle consisted of three old soldiers and one new soldier, and the outermost circle consisted of six new soldiers.

  The people standing outside saw someone approaching them and immediately picked up their guns to counterattack. The sound of gunfire and fire trucks mixed together in an instant. Soon, the six people surrounding the outermost area were all hit by bullets. They stayed on the spot, watching Lei and others move towards the command center, shouting loudly: "Come on! Come on! You must succeed!"

  As soon as those six men left, three old soldiers immediately picked up their guns and continuously swept the enemy with fire.
